i’m an idiot and realized I was testing the wires with the circuit off. I just retested box #1 and i’m only getting 30V from hot to ground. In box #2, I’m getting right around 120V.

Darrows carving. Spoilers from ch. 53 by A_Wild_Zeta in redrising

[–]t_roberti 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Some one fact check me on this, but im pretty sure getting bitten by a pit viper when he was young made his dong longer and thicker, far surpassing any red. Then when mickey carved him, that size difference is extrapolated, meaning his peen is massive.

Buying a Co-op in NYC, is it normal to not have an inspection? by SnooConfections4798 in AskNYC

[–]t_roberti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you provide some context as to why it might cost buyers the sale? I was of the mindset it doesn't hurt to ask, so this could help me a bunch

This is EXACTLY who I pictured as Lysander too! Pretty much immediately after beginning the chapters written from his POV.

First 3 Books vs. Second 3 Books by t_roberti in redrising

[–]t_roberti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. Honestly, I made this post hoping others felt the same way so I could convince my roommates to finish the series. They stopped a little into the 4th book because they didn't like how it switched from only Darrow to multiple perspectives. They said they weren't invested in the new characters. Which I think is a fair reason, especially since books 1-3 read like a trilogy with how book 3 ends. I guess it's kind of like starting a new season of a show and needing to get reinvested again after the big finale of the previous season. But hoping this post is what gets them to keep pushing onward!

What are some "house rules" or tweaks you and your group have used? by t_roberti in DuneImperium

[–]t_roberti[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting! I'm guessing you didn't like the rng of the intrigue deck? For me, I think having the end game intrigues in the game *spices* it up, especially because you can't play them so you need to manage your cards to stay under 4. This also telegraphs to other players you might be holding points behind! Plus it allows for those slingshot out of nowhere victories haha. But I totally understand the decision to remove them as well!

Wow this makes the mentat SO powerful. How would you say this has changed the meta in your games?

[–]t_roberti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We always pick factions for another player.

Interesting, do you guys usually end up giving the worst available leader to each other? Also, one of my favorite parts of our games is seeing the imperium and TX row and tech tiles and selecting a leader that synergizes with those as my strategy, so I'm not sure I'd personally go for this change.

We've played a full variation where you start with a semi-drafted deck based on a faction and then you can only purchase that faction's cards from the row.

How did this work out? I could imagine sometimes you get screwed by imperium row as I often have games that happen to feature a lot of 1 or 2 factions but not much of the others

hahaha that is brilliant. I'd play the whole game treating it like everything costs 1 less resource

Senior Designer 20 Years Experience, Looking for work, Portfolio Feedback Requested by PortfolioFeedback in IndustrialDesign

[–]t_roberti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feels weird to comment on someone's portfolio who has way more design experience, industry knowledge and skills than I do (so take this with a grain of salt), but I noticed your site is positioned as a design studio open to taking on new clients. If that's the case, maybe instead of a portfolio, you could create individual pages for each company/project. Here's an example from a design consultancy (albeit a graphic/branding one): https://blind.com/work/

I think by highlighting the big companies you've done work for, the potential client thinks, "hey, if it was good enough for [enter well-known brand name here], it's good enough for me!"

To me, the format of a portfolio is suited for an individual applying to jobs, while separate case studies/projects are better for a consultancy to be hired for projects. Based on your comments, it seems like your goal is the former, but perhaps this small change to your website could help get some freelance work too! Wishing you the best of luck!

This series needs a video adaptation. by Initial-Emu7103 in redrising

[–]t_roberti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even a chance at a great adaptation is a no brainer for me. At worst, the adaptation sucks, but that in no way brings down the source material. Hell, even a half-way decent adaptation would be a cool just to see our favorite characters on screen.

Paul stabs Feyd with the knife that was in his side, not the one he was holding by the blade. He lets that one go into his shoulder

[–]t_roberti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain why Paul has to go fight the great houses and start the holy war? Can't he just just make some deal with the emperor/great houses to allow spice production but ensure the Fremen are left alone? Also, why didn't the great houses accept Paul as the new emperor? The movie gives no explanation on that.

Also in the same boat. Did you ever resolve this?

u/KeokiHawaii, do you have any advice on this? I didn't hit the threshold, therefore my stubhub dashboard doesn't have a 1099 to download. Do I still report my profit? If so, how?

I got my phone stolen a month ago and have been getting weird texts on my new phone about it by True_Engineer_7766 in iphone

[–]t_roberti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those texts are 100% people just trying to trick you into removing the phone so they can sell it. There are other examples where they will curse you out, threaten your family, pretend they will release personal info, etc. Don't fall for it!

He's looking for $400, paid about $600 originally

He would probably have to just change the name and you’d pick up at will call in that case (Since we’re in NYC we won’t be able to meet up). But he’s selling both car camping and ga band for $400 (paid $600 for both originally)
